Same! My dad used to play lots of music for me as a kid, but I haven’t seen him in years and so I can never ask him about my childhood and the music he used to play me
me too. music itself was just more fun and interesting back then - for a variety of reasons. the visual element that could be packaged with a song was not underutilized or wasted. heck, sometimes the videos were really what made the song what it was, where the song by itself would've been easily forgotten.
@@philanselmo1198 "Weapon of Choice" is a good example of what you describe: tons of people only know that song because Christopher Walken danced to it in a music video.

I came here to say this. I was listening to The Pleasure Principle, and when “M. E.” started, I just got bug-eyed and headed over here to verify. When the sampling dropped, I just grinned ear to ear. Gary doesn’t even realize how innovative his early work was. He should give himself more credit.
I just happened to hear the Gary Numan song and thought "huh, that's that Basement Jaxx riff!". All these years and I didn't know but I'm glad I do now. They're both bangers.
I remember my dad showing me this when I was a kid. Glad I found it again. He passed away some time ago and it's good to remember the laughs we had with this video. Absolute banger Update: thank you all for the love for my dad! You all rock! Keep on rocking everyone! Love you all
I am 28 years old, just today this song popped in my head for whatever reason. Last time I heard this I was a small boy watching the video on a Mexican television music station called Telehit. Life is a trip.
I heard this song for the first time at the credits of the Tomb Raider movie. It was the last movie I watched with my father before he died. I'm so glad to hear this again because it gives me such a mix of nostalgia and happiness for the good old memories. Thank you guys!
Probably one of the only songs I am not embarrassed to have blasting either in my car or at my home. I love this song that much that I welcome all judgment because it deserves to be heard. Love it!
I was 14 when this came out and remember going to youth "clubs" where this would play at least twice an hour up until 10pm when we'd be kicked out. Kids used to pretend they were drunk while dancing but the hardest thing we were served was expired juice.
I remember this song being in a Disney Skateboard game circa 2000 something Lol I completely forgot about it until I was listening to Gary Numans M.E. That bass line is addictive
If you want a blast from the past to look up, Disney’s Extreme Skate Adventure. Still own the game to this day and fuck around on it for nostalgia and the soundtrack, absolutely killer track in comparison to nowadays especially
@@SpectrXMOfcl holy shit you just unlocked some memories picked up that game when i was a kid at a yard sale. i have the vaguest memory of buzz on a skateboard
This might very well be the first song I remember hearing on the internet, I don’t even remember specifically where I found it but ever since I heard this song it’s been downloaded off Limewire, burned onto a CD, ripped to an iPod, played on TH-cam/Spotify etc. I even played it over the air as a DJ in college. It’s one of those songs that’s stuck with me all this time and it always takes me back.
It's been what, around 15? , 20? years ago, and I never got tired of it. And I will never will. After the living God Himself, this is my second holy communion.
My apologies but if you read this from the outside perspective...sounds like auntie was waking up a 9 year old (hearing where's your head at) for possibly unapproved activities. Therapy session activities if you know what I mean
It's been such a long time since I last heard this song as a child. I got chills and memories came back from the good old days. This song will always be remembered.🫠

Idk how you could go bad out in public on that sh either tho. I would pretty much just tell everyone they're pretty, I guess. An ex coworker of mine were laughing about that sh bc how ridiculous we sounded, saying sh like," these kids of today just dont know. Their drugs ain't got sh on our times." She heard my beat ish playlist & was like," girrrlll, your sh takes me back... she's 1 of the few I actually liked... I know she was lowkey mad ... that I left. Asking him... why I went. Anywho, my fn head hurts now. But that might bc of some other sh. The sh I do for fun. Maybe thats why I'm irritable? I killed my natural happy sh. & thats where my head is at 🌠
Ditto here, kinda. I'm happy to see it again, and play it _loudly_ in my hospital room, while hooked up to I.V. pumping steroids into my body. Nobody can hear me, I'm in isolation. So I can listen to my fave shit & bang my head until the sun rises over Yosemite. I hope you're not dying for real. Take care & keep rockin.
hard to believe this was released 20 years ago!! the visuals are incredible and the soundtrack is amazing!!! the mind boggles when I think how they actually put the faces on the monkeys especially when they are attacking!! so freaky but cool ASF!! LOVE THIS BANGER!!
My mom showed me this song, told me this was her favorite song when going out with her sister. I wish I can be there to witness the energy with this song
This has to be the best song in the world - pure alchemy. Blows my mind, body soul. I don't know what to do with myself. Feeling possessed - dance moves are out of control. Love being a 90's teen
*r/beatmetoit* also this whole video to me now, after only knowing the song for 17 years now but like the back of my hand from a Disney skateboarding game and finally seeing this Eldritch abomination, feels like; _"Meanwhile, in one of the United Kingdom's branches of the SCP Foundation...."_
me pasó exactamente lo mismo; cuando era chico estaba viendo un especial de Hey Arnold! y cuando hacian trivia de la serie ponian este tema de fondo. Desde entonces, esperaba oirlo de nuevo hasta que en una fiesta de unos amigos lo pusieron... fue la mejor revelacion de mi vida!
My grandpa passed away 45 years ago today. I played this at his bedside as he took his last breaths. And as his grandfather passed away 80 years ago today he too played this at his bedside while he was dying from an ingrown toenail. Every time I hear these lyrics I think of my family legacy of 200 years enjoying these inspiring lyrics.
This is personal I guess. I like Gary Numan but his version sounds like Duran Duran. This video in concept as a video made this song absolutely modern and smart.
Two things: 1: I didn’t discover this song until it was used for a TV commercial. 2: How did they do the computer face/monkey blending better than most movies?
My stepfather gave me this cd as his first gift to me to kinda break the ice. I was a young boy at the time, about 8 years old. I just knew the cd and the “ monkey cd “ it had basement jaxx first album art on it. I’ll never sell it nor give it away, it even irks me to explain what it is. It’s one of those, if ya know, ya know, if not, then you don’t. And you don’t need to. Rooty had such a special place in my heart that I couldn’t put it into words of if I tried. This album is the shit.
Took me about 14 years to find this gem... Heard it when I was a kid, and never heard it again.
This feels like a moment of truth
I just found this today lol it randomly popped in my head 😭

The thing is about Gary Numan: not only is he a pop star, he's got a pilot's license. Imagine that!
evidence that Gary Numan was literally decades ahead of his time.

This song always reminds me of “Tomb Raider” the end when she’s gonna fight Simon again
That's exactly what I visualise when I hear this song.
YESSS AHAHAHA
100%
I was waiting for someone to mention that! This song is on the tomb raider sound track. I also got rooty, some time later.
Yes
Official theme of the French Revolution
lost off lol
I didn't get your joke at first but then it popped in my head that the French Revolution introduced the Guillotine. Clever joke
iiiiiiiinnnnn da buuuuccckkkett ;D
awesome Gary Numan sample
And the forthcoming revolution.
My grandpa passed away 45 years ago today. I played this at his bedside as he took his last breaths. And as his grandfather passed away 80 years ago today he too played this at his bedside while he was dying from an ingrown toenail. Every time I hear these lyrics I think of my family legacy of 200 years enjoying these inspiring lyrics.
"We will live on without you" great stuff to play to someone dying 🤣
something is seriously wrong with the internet how can this video only have 3 .6 million views?? where your head at??
...It's not on the radio (At least not where I live.), ...it does'nt get advertised like mainstream.
because it's 16 years old, this was mainstream in the UK when it came out.
their heads are in butt squats
@@wilaim8549 was always on in the clubs and pubs in New Zealand back in the day
Sept 2020 now up to 12.4 million views
Heard it in highschool back in 04 and then it took me 10 years to find it. This song still rocks after another 7 years.
This music video is still amazing today.
Writing, directing and acting are all perfect.
I never considered this before, but I think this is one of the top music videos ever made!! Very clever. The song is amazing too, of course!
When you're skating in Andy's room and this song comes on:
Nah I remember it more from free roam in the city.
Fucking loved that game though.
Holy Christ, I love sharing nostalgia with complete strangers!!!!!
Yes yes yes
I liked skateboarding in the bathroom lol 😂
Credits to Mr. Gary Numan for the sample original... both are fantastic songs
“M.E.” if I’m not mistaken
@@bigpuma444 correct. I have it on vinyl and instantly recognized it the first time I heard this.
I was about to say, this sounded very reminiscent of Tubeway army:)
I'm 47 and this song ìs STILL awesome!!!
Severely trippy video. Kinda creepy but ya cant stop lookin. Oddly elegant
This was ahead of it's time
+ArcaneThingOfBeauty actually they stole it from some one that created in 1979 Gary Numan M.E.
+ArcaneThingOfBeauty Gary Numan was ahead of his time, these guys just sped it up and added shitty lyrics. look it up, the original is called M.E.
+Tommy Fargo its called sampling
This is personal I guess. I like Gary Numan but his version sounds like Duran Duran. This video in concept as a video made this song absolutely modern and smart.
Any 2023 Listeners out here still listening to amazing music from Basement Jaxx?!?
2024 now
still in 24
2024
Never stopped listening lol!!
This is such a timeless banger...
2:22
This part of lyrics and music is clearly inspired by - Once a lifetime (Talking heads)
This deserves nothing less than as much volume you can play it on !
Totally.... high volume brings out stuff in this song that you just don't get at lower volume
Jesus Christ these were the MTV and VH1 days.
Honda Housey hell ye, boi. I actually discovered this song because they aired it once on VH1
Umm, more like the end of their days. Late 80s/90s were great for MTV/VH1 until Road Rules and The Real World ruined MTV + TV.
Yeah,
Video killed the Radio Star
Now TH-cam killed MTV.
Now we have trending country rap songs
And Latin pop how the industry has fallen
Well at least VH1 is still very good, that channel is my only friend on nights of homework
That creepy scientist was a perfect actor for this video.
Check Udo Kier in Korn's video of Make Me Bad.
He's not acting
@@thebigmoosy9706 Man that guy was in so many movies back in those days
@@MW-cx3sb Hostel
....which one
This song will never get old! 🔥🔥🔥The video is definitely perfect for the song.
I watched this video as a kid and I thought I had seen the end of the world.
yoou arent wrong
Mine was land of confusion lmao. That cursed me from childhood.
I hated the video when i was a kid but i loved the song
Try Avalanches frontier...
Two things:
1: I didn’t discover this song until it was used for a TV commercial.
2: How did they do the computer face/monkey blending better than most movies?
The first time you see it it looks better than it actually is... rewatch it a few times.
What TV commercial was it used for? Wasn't a BT commercial by any chance was it...?
The first time I heard this song was Disney's Extreme Skate Adventure for the PS2 😭
@@markusfreetingham6854 Pringles potatoe chips my man.
@@jaykay9104 power puff girls
Música boa, e videoclipe também, é disso que eu gosto
Uuuh hace miles de años que salió en MTV.... Thousand years ago, this was on MTV
When I was about 6, this song scared me shitless. Now i've seen the video...
Same!
+Ayoub Lachgar I actually am lol
+Laura Byng How coincidental seeing as your name is Laura and I remember this song from Laura Croft Tomb Raider. :D
Dildo Shwaggins Bit of a Mandela effect there I guess. XD
that thing can jump over you through your screen. XD
This brings back memories to my Disney Extreme Skate Adventure playing days on the PS2..
Yep!
YEEAAa
yep
omg couldnt think of the game, thankyou
YES. Played that with my cousin and I remeber ths song.
My stepfather gave me this cd as his first gift to me to kinda break the ice. I was a young boy at the time, about 8 years old. I just knew the cd and the “ monkey cd “ it had basement jaxx first album art on it. I’ll never sell it nor give it away, it even irks me to explain what it is.
It’s one of those, if ya know, ya know, if not, then you don’t. And you don’t need to.
Rooty had such a special place in my heart that I couldn’t put it into words of if I tried. This album is the shit.
What the.....?! Why hasn't this got a load more views, it was huge when it came out and I still hear it on the radio every once and a while.......
one of the best "classics"
